Mother Kelly's - Havant

On holiday visiting Emsworth we fancied a takeaway fish lunch. We ordered 5 cod and chips and being seniors we were offered the chips free. All freshly cooked in an eco box the batter was crispy and portions plentiful. We sat by the mill pond so an enjoyable lunch all round.

Was told about Mother Kelly's from work colleagues as I was looking for somewhere that does not do fish swimming in batter or grease. I wasn't disappointed the fish was cooked to perfection and the chips were nice and big not like the small ones from my local shop.

Lovely lady out on the front dealing with a take away area full of people orders coming out of her ears with little attempt of help or support from any of the other stff that was in the building the chef watching as she 's trying to do everything. No help with curry sauces no help with even building boxes to the point the custers are helping her.. the restraunt staff popping heads round the side every now and then to look.. The Chef then says anyone else ordering it 's going to be 20 minutes.. then goes onto say he 's going for a fag. considering it 's classed as an open kitchen, he 's aware people can hear him, and see him. Huffing to himself like he 's busy.. There is no team work in this place and I feel sorry for the lovely lady doing it all and when I left was left cooking because the chef couldn 't be asked to do his job.. Moaning stating this place is a joke.. What a lovely place it used to be shame the staff don 't seem to care to put a little effort in.. Food was alright can 't ask for much more when it 's been sat there a long time..

Fantastic food cooked freshly lovely friendly stuff good value for money must go in if u r down here

Mother Kelly’s is my local fish and chip shop! We use it often. I work as a Senior Carer at Willow Lodge Care Home in Southbourne, when Marie found out our Chef was off sick she very kindly stepped in and provided Fish and chips, battered sausages, fish cakes and Savaloy sausages for our residents and staff at no cost! The residents absolutely loved it! It was all freshly cooked and delicious!! Thank you so much to Marie and her team for their generosity and kindness! I will be back soon!
